- COMBINED HEATER AND RADIATOR.

1 Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 16, 1912.

Application filed March 10,1910, Serial Ne /548,341. Renewed November 7, 1911. Serial No. 659,056.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARY J. WHEELER, citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Heaters and Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to heaters and particularly a combined water heater and radiator.

The object of theinventio'n is to provide a heater having a water. tank supported therein with a burner coil surrounding the tank and a base burner disposed beneath the tank in combination with means for supporting fuel to the burners .and means for supplying water to, and delivering t from the tank, whereby water is expeditlously heated and heat radiated from the heater.

Finally the 'object of the invention is to provide means of the character described that will be strong, durable, eflic1ent, and easy of operation, simple and comparatlvel inexpensive to construct, and also 1n wine the several parts will not be likely to get out of working order.

With the above andother objects in vlew,

the invention'has relationto certain novelfeatures of construction and operation, an example of which is described in this specification and illustrated in the accompany ing drawings, wherein: a I

.Figure 1, is a horizontal sectional v1ew taken on the line SD of Fig. 2, Fig. 2, is an elevation,Fig. 3, is a vertical section, Fig. 4';-

posed in contact with its side walls which acts to deflect the heat products against a central tank 8 and also to cause the heat products to be more efiicient-ly thrown out through the openings 6.

The tank 8 is made of thin metal as copper or other suitable material and has a diameter considerably smaller than the inthe form of a perforated pipe coiled about the tank, is supported upona stand 14 and provided with a gas supply tube 15 extend ing through the side of the casing directly overthe tube 11. I The upper end of, the burner 13 is closed by a cap 16 or other suitable means. The tube 15 also has a flaring mouth 17. i

For supplying gas to the tubes of the burners, a gasolene reservoir 18 is supported onthe upper end of a supply pipe 19 which has connection at its lower end with a valve casing 20.- .These parts are located outside of the casing and the valve casing is provided with a suitable valve or cut-ofi' 21.

From the valve. casing a perforated mixing sleeve 22extends'horizontally and terminates at the mouth 12 of the tube 11.

Beneath the sleeve a heating pan 23 is supported. This construction operates on the well known principle of vaporizing or mixing air and gas'olene to form a combustible gas after the parts have been heated by burning a-small quantity-of gasolene in the pan. The same arrangement is duplicated for the tube 15 and a detailed description is not deemed necessary.

It will be noted that the mouth portion of each tube is internally screw threaded at 24. In Fig. 5 a gas mixer 25 is shown.

This mixeris adapted to be connected with the service pipe supplying manufactured gas. When it is desired not to-use gasolene, the gasolene equipment may be removed and the mixers 25 substituted. Each mixer has a screw threaded sleeve as 26 which may be screwed into the portion 24: and the connection made.

Water may be supplied to the tank 8 and delivered therefrom in various ways. In the drawings I have shown a supply pipe ternal diameter of the casing whereby an t 27 passed through the casing and entering the tank at the upper end; while a delivery pipe 28 extends from the lower end of the tank through the casing. By this arrangementhot water may be had at all times durnear its upper end, a tank supported in the casing free ofcontact therewith and having provision for receiving and delivering water, a burner disposed between the tank and. the casing and under the former, a second burner coiled about the tank within the casing, and meansfor conducting gasv from the outside of the casing to the burners.

2. In a heater, a casing having openings near its upper end, a lining fitting the inside walls of the casing, a tank supported in the casing free of contact therewith and having provision for receiving and delivering water, a fiat burner disposed between the tank and the bottom of the casing, a second burner in the form of a pipe coiled about the tank within the casing, fuel supply tubes leading from the burners and terminating outside the tank, and gas supplysupported in the casing in concentric relation thereto, whereby an annular space is provided between the tank and the casing, means for supplying water to the tank, means for delivering Water from the tank, a fiat burner supported on the bottom of the casing under the tank, a tube extending from the burner through the side of the casing and terminating in a flaring mouth, a perforated burner pipe coiled upward around the tank in the annular space, a tube leading from the lower end of the pipe burner through the side of the casing and terminating in a flaring mouth, a stand in the casing supporting the burner pipe, and means for supplying gas to the flaring ends of the tubes.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

MARY J. WHEELER.
